Has anyone found a spare tire cover that has grommets already in the back, that you can use bungee cords on?

I have an issue with mine always blowing off, and the one I added grommets to ripped the fabric which ruined the cover.

I am looking for one too. I want to have the Four Winns logo on it (and/or name). Anyone know of one?

Mine has a really strong elastic bit behind it that seems to work OK - have towed thousands of miles without an issue. Unfortunately not a FW one, but from the delaer.... what about trying a plain one designed for a 4WD and printing the FW logo on it??

Found this site. Seems to have a hard front. Not sure I like that.

Mine has a strong elastic band in back, but not strong enough to keep it on while I'm driving.

Fire why are you posting when you should be doing things that are far more fun? Isn't there a beach or sunrise you should be looking at?

Unless you just *have* to have a cover for looks, I would recommend against it... a naked wheel/tire will survive just as long or longer... Some covers will only cinch around the tire and if you don't take it off and clean, stuff will get in there...

My spare wheel doesn't match my trailer wheels so it's a "matching" issue until I buy a new spare. :-)
